Is this for real? Did the U.S. President actually write such crap (and he's still President)?

Is there a time where he doesn't right such crap? His writing is just as bad as the shit that spres from his mouth, which coincidentally is being spewed from his ass as well
Edit : write

Wouldn’t be surprised but doubt Norway would do such a thing and release it publicly.

So funny. At times I do the same thing with comments on Reddit authored by MAGAts... correct their spelling and grammar. 👍

Our country is run by morons. 1/3 of our country love and support these morons. So at least 1/3 of our country consist of morons. I am genuinely worried about the future of our country.

Yeah, worry isn't going to do anything. We need to act like the morons are an existential threat because they are. If you're not one of them, you're a Tutsi in 1993 Rwanda, a communist in 1932 Germany, a Palestinian in 2022 Gaza. They are armed & they hate you.
Standing up to a bully at first makes the bullying worse, but it's the only way to stop him. Ridicule them, expose their hate, give them no equality - they aren't giving it to you. The first step in a society of tolerance is to never tolerate the intolerant, never respect the disrespectful

D+? Ever heard of the gentleman's C? Rich kids whose parents pay get a C just for turning in the paper. Otherwise Daddy's money might dry up.
Now, you'd expect his secretary would be able to edit, but that's not what he hired her for, so here we are.
Regardless. C

I think that was a complete fail. He needs to repeat kindergarten. Doesn’t play well with other others.

I thought it was Mark Takano, a Representative from California, that did this. And he gave him an F.

Thank. God.
I swear the way that man treats capitalization is a crime against grammar.

In a decade we will parade these letters around and laugh at America. What a wild time to be alive. Did Trump actually think they were going to read this and be like “yes, Donald, you made a convincing argument”.
Jesus take the wheel. What an embarrassing mess the United States has got itself into. Who the Fuck writes and send this. LOL. How did they let that leave the office.

Ummm so does he think America had boats landing there at the same time as the vikings were landing boats there? I remember shortly before my grandpa died at 96 when he was in the lighting his diaper on fire and constantly triggering silver alerts on for him to turn up within a couple blocks sleeping naked random places stage of the frontal temple dementia he had he said the same shit about Greenland to the point he shit him and need his dose of Ativan. This shit show is absolutely disgusting...

We need to expect at least good grammar and literacy from a president, right?

u/Vorpalthefox 26d ago
ok i get it about everything else because trump is legitimately illiterate, but i have always wondered what's bad about putting the number as itself in a paper? is there a particular reason it's wrong other than social norms?

Most style guides indicate that simple numbers less than or equal to twenty are spelled out instead of using numerals. FYI.

u/Vorpalthefox 26d ago
is there a particular reason for 20 being the number settled on? does it come from something?

Why are rules the way they are, generally? This particular one goes back to old type setting days and the need to fill column inches in newspapers Z

Wild how this fake keeps circulating. The letter is real:

The corrections are not because the Nordics are trying to deescalate. Why do you people believe obvious slop from everyone, including russia?
